This *could* have happened but is very unlikely given a) 2 viral lineages at the market b) 0 confirmed cases among lab workers c) No clustering around lab location The entire argument for the lab leak is "it's weird that the virus emerged in a city with a lab" but this scenario is far weirder.

No surprise Pierre Poilievre wants to stay on as leader even as he appears set to lose his own seat. He’s achieved a high voter share, but still lost the election. It remains to be seen whether the party will agree with him, and whether he can keep the Western libertarians and Eastern PCs together.
